sembly of the United Presbyterian Church Of
North America continued its session to-day.
The report of the general committee OF home
missions was presented, in the course on which
il said one of two things must be done-either

once greatly increased. An outlay of 5000
cannot be met with a income of $40, 000
In the of discussion on the mission
port, general charges of unfaithfulness upon the
part of missionaries, were made by Rev Ken

A COURAGEOUS MAN.
Something About the First In
diyidual that Carried an UNI
brella.

The first man who ventured to walk
the streets of London with an umbrella
was Joseph Hanway. The sensation,
of course. was great. He might have
walked the streets with boil on his
nose, or policeman on each arm with
out attracting any particular attention.
but he couldn do it with an umbrella.
The rain was pouring, though it didn'
hinder the people from pouring into
the street to look at him. Some fol-
lowed him, laughing and jeering, until
they were soaked to the skin. but JOS
eph kept right on in his own placid way,
shedding smiles on the multitude as his
umbrella shed the rain. No doubt his
politeness impelled him to offer it's
shelter to some poor woman caught in
the storm. but we venture to say that
no woman was caught under that UNI
brella on its experimental trip. The
sex is too susceptible to ridicuIe for that
Joseph continued to brave rldicule and
carry his umbrella until people got US
ed to seeing it, and one day when a
neighbor calling at his house tried to
borrow it, promising to return it with
out delay, he knew that opposition was
at an end and the REICH of the umbrella
was begun. We suspect that the
neighbor failed to return the umbrella
thereby establishing a precedent that
has held good ever since. 1t would be
curious to know whether the first UNI
brella carrier was in the habit Of carry
ing it under his arm when it WASH rain
ing, with the point protruding at con-
venient angle for jabbing out the eyes
of the person following. 1t is very old
as well as pernicious habit, difficult to
eradicatr. A man doesn't give it up
even after having his own eye punched
out We wish to think kindly of JOS
eph Hanway, and hope he did not intro
duce that vile habit with the umbrella
People do not laugh at the umbrella
any more, except when the wind turns
it wrong side out at street corner, or

with it in comic speech. Texas Sift-

Scenes in the Capital.

Cinnamon in many ways are perfect
children. They fly kites more than the
little ones do, and watch the great pa
per dragons and fish as they float high
er and higher with placid enjoyment.
Ones attention is often attracted by
silent crowd, some seated. some stand
ing around man who, with suitable
information and gesture, is reciting a
story. He is a peculiar parsonage in Pc
kin, and his audience stay rapt in de-
lightful suspense listening to his tales.
They are very fond of animals, and
walk about the streets with their pet
birds perched on sticks. These are very
tame, and are trained to fetch and car
ry things. Hawks are very popular
with the story tellers, and crickets, dur
ing their short term of life, are in high
demand. They are kept in little straw
cages. Those who are musical like
them for their song, and those who
gamble land what Chinaman does not
gambler spur them into fighting. Pig
cons are used as messengers to carry
the rates of exchange, and also to keep
off the crows. They are provided with
whistles on their tails, that make pecul-
lar, sad moan as they fly. This only adds
one sound more to the noisy town.
Every kind of ware is hawked about
the streets; travelling kitchens with soup,
rice, and mysterious messes; the con.
fectioner, with unhealthy looking pale
cakes and rudy ornamented ones,
sticks of candied crab apples and peanut
candy; the barber, playing his vocation
at the door; the packman, with groups
of women around him, choosing artif-
cial flowers and trimming silks; the
knife sharpener, the man who rivets
china, the pedicure, each with his dis
tinctlve call, rattle or bell; and the
Taoulst priest, banging his gong till he
is paid to be quiet-all keep the echoes
lively. After night fall each man as
he walks along, sings to keep away the

jeff Davis in Georgia.

IHeTe IL HO law ~ plC'Ch' thC PSo-
Die of Georgia from giving al enthusi
.stic welcome to JEFF Davis. The mat
Ter is one Of taste. chiefly, aud it is
their privilege to assert themselves in
that fashion if they can thus find pleas
ure and satisfaction. But they would
do well at the same time to question
their Intelligence as to the propriety
and substantial profit Of such an exhi-
bltion. The man whom they choose to
honor in a manner so marked and ex-
travagant really has no claims upon
them. He led them into most un-
Unsuitable and disastrous war which
stripped them Of all their possessions
and brought upon them the deepest
and bitterest humiliation In 40 re-
spect did he ever do them the least
good. 1t would have been infinitely
better for them if he had never been
born. His career as President Of the
defunct Southern confederacy was that
of person ambitious for himself rath-
er than for those who trusted and sus-
tanned him: and when the end came,
instead of standing by the victims of
his folly and wickedness I'M courageous
and faithful way, he sneaked off with
no thought but that Of his own safety,
and tried to make his way to foreign
land.
The attempt to make hero of such
man is preposterous. There is not a
heroic quality in his nature, as his rec
ord fully testiies. He had opportuni-
ties in plenty during his active par
ticipation in public affairs to do gener-
GUS and creditable things, but he invar-
iably failed to improve them. History
will say of him that he was guided
always by considerations Of selishness.
He ruled the Confederacy with strict
and absolute reference to his personal
interests, and allowed nothing to stand
in the way of his determination to be
an autocrat of the most pronounced and
complete order When the people of
Georgia, or of any other southern state,
wish to do him honor, therefore, they
compromise their manhood and expose
themselves to dlstrust and derision.
They are not indebted to JEFF Davis in
any particular; and certainly he does
hot stand for any theory or purpose
which can be of present use to them.
lie makes mockery of the duties Of
citizenship, and counsels them to re-
ject all the chances which they are Of

and happiness His influence is con-
stantly exerted to keep alive the MEM
cries of the war and to prevent that re-
storation Of sectional harmony and
friendship without which the South
can never achieve proper measure of
success. He does harm and harm only
every tine he shows his face and opens
his mouth in public. The world is
weary of his prolonged existence, and
feels nothing but contempt for his
opinions and recommendations. In no
other way could the people who have
suffered so severely Oh his account do
themselves a greater kindness than by
resoluteiy sending him to the rear and
keeping him there under all circumstan-
ces for the rest Of his days.-Globe-

Reminded Of Baruyard Fowls

Several Georgia cities remind us
strongly Of barn yards. When one
of their citizens happens to lay an
intellectual, political or other egg all
hands begin to cackle, and the racket
is kept up until everybody within
hearing is fully informed of the stu
pendous event, Mr.. Grady, Of At
lanta, went to New York and made q
clever speech and when he got home
was met by brass band and nom-
ination for the vice.presidency which
was born and died in its own sweet
home. Representative Barnes, of
Augusta, got through bill for a pub
lie building at that city and mass
meeting gathered in his honor and
heard a speech from him which fills
three columns of the Chronicle.
Great Scott! Did nobody ever
make speech in New York or get .
public building bill through before?
If the Hon. Joseph L. Brown, who
was sent to the United States senate
to turn the world upside down, ever
does do anything we wonder what
the demonstration over it will be.
In that improbable event, we should
listen for five years Of solid cackling
at ast.-GreenoiNe Ners.

article taken from the Albany
Jou1ual, written by Mr.. Chauncey

issue to-day, are some erroneous
statements. NIr. Depew says it is
impossible to reach down and kiss
the Blarney stone, or to accomplish
the act when held by friend. We

party Of four-two ladies and two
gentlemen. The two gentlemen-my
friend and I-reached down unas-
sisted, except by the iron rods sup
porting the stone, and gave the ia
nous old stone hearty smack. We
then held one of the ladies by her
feet while she leaned down and
kissed the stone. This was in Sep
tember, 1884, and surely it cannot be
more difficult now"

About Pea Nuts.

The Spanish or bush peanut is a
new variety in this country, unknown
in North Carolina and Virginia. 1t
commends itself to every farmer who
has tried it as a valuable crop for
market and for use on the farm. The
nuts are the pabulum Of the modern
legislation as we'll as the small! boy.
and are more delicate than the North
Carolina variety, but little smaller.
They are superior to the coarse Elr-
ginia pinder. The nuts grow around
the tap root in a cluster and all come
up when pulled-about pint to the
,. hill on land that will make FIVE or six
bushels Of corn TO the acre, more on
better land.
The land should not be too stiff as
it would bake around the nuts and
hold them in the ground. They
should be planted about the same
time as cotton, the hills y to l6
inches and rows 80 inches apart.
slightly hilled up with the scraper.
Will mature planted as late as 10th
June, but shoulG; be pulled up and
cured as soon as the nuts commence
to sprout in the ground and before
frost.
The tops do not lie on the ground
and spread as the old varieties, but
bush up and make large quantity
of NEST excellent foliage, cured as
peavine hay.
The tops may be moved of, cured
and put on the market and the nuts
raised by pulling the stubble, dried
and housed. The picking can be
done at odd times in hot or cold
weather.
The yield is from 80 to 100 or
more bushels Of nuts and one to five
thousand pounds of hay.
With this nut and its top can be
raised hogs, cattle and horses in
abundance and cheaply; large
quantity of more valuable manure, at
the same time having produced in the
nuts a marketable commodity which
always commands q remunerative
price. The tops and nuts might be
baled together as provender and
would soon make a market for them
selves in the cattle pens Of the
cities.
They can he planted among corn
instead of peas, and have done well
in the missing places on cotton beds.
